Lawsuit claims assault by Browns’ Richardson

Cleveland Browns running back
Trent Richardson is being sued by two women who say they were assaulted at his
home last year.

A lawyer for
Krystal Jones of Maple Heights, Ohio, and
Kathleen Hunter of Cleveland said the lawsuit was filed Friday in Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas Court.

The complaint says the women were invited to Richardson’s Columbia Station house in December but
soon asked to leave. It says Richardson then cursed the women for “slamming a door” and “
disrespecting his house.”

The lawsuit says Richardson banged on Jones’ vehicle, causing damage. It says Richardson then
urged his girlfriend and two other women, also named in the lawsuit, to attack the plaintiffs.
